Summary: In this book I have tried to meet a need felt by myself and others, as students and as teachers, for a social and economic history of modern Britain which, while giving a broad review of the period, would serve as a practical introduction to the original sources. I have therefore quoted freely from contem porary writings and particularly from the nineteenth-century Blue Books, which are so much more exciting than is commonly supposed by those who have never read them. To the Select Committees and Royal Commissions of the century I record my thanks. In common with all historians of the period I owe a debt to the Webbs, the Hammonds, and to Sir John Clapham, which I acknowledge in full. I wish also to thank Russell Meiggs, Fellow of Balliol College, for the help he gave me in correcting proofs.
